Since the Mail is trash, heres a more reputable source
Why even bother linking Daily Mail knowing it's shit propaganda that spends a lot of time stoking racial unrest?
From the guardian article:
Asked if detectives were considering a racial motive as part of their murder investigation, a police spokesperson said: “We will be keeping an open mind, but establishing any motive for the assault will form part of inquiries. We are continuing to establish the full circumstances and cannot comment further at this time.”
